Below are four wedding photography packages to suit different budgets and requirements.

All packages include all images on a USB ready for you to print, as well as a complimetary engagement shoot at a location of your choice. These are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera, and have some fun along the way!

These prices are not including stuff like travel and accommodation costs out of Christchurch, or Photobook design and print — that’s a sweet finishing touch, and as it’s completely customised for you, the additional prices vary.

My approach

There’s many different approaches to photographing your wedding, and if you’ve got a good grasp on this, it is very likely you’ll hire the right photographer for the job. My approach is based on two tried-and-true methods; photojournalistic, and creative.

The photojournalistic part means (and many will claim this but fail to deliver) capturing your day as it naturally happens. No posed photos or forced emotions, but more genuine moments of interaction and engagement that tells a story of your day for years to come.

The creative part is where we take a little more control to capture those ‘special’ images. We’ll visit a set of nice locations (that I scout out beforehand) close by to your wedding with just yourselves and the bridal party. There we have some fun, set up some remote lighting, and craft a set of dramatic images.

Photobooks

Having the ability to design and craft a completely custom hardcover Photobook is definitely a perk. These display your photos in a nice, contemporary way with each image being printed directly on the pages. There’s heaps of options, like different paper stock, leather or linen covers, custom designed dust covers, embossing and even a fancy little box to store your Photobook in.

While other photographers may use templates designs from their Photobook providers, I can offer your design from scratch every time, matching the mood and personality of yourselves and your day. It also allows us to integrate professionally set typography, quotes, poems, anything you like as part of helping to tell the story of your day.

We get our books printed through Momento up in Wellington, who have delivered nothing but stunning results.
